Pivotal Addition

This couple loved the idea of being able to open an entire wall of their home to the outside. So designer Joshua Coggenshall created a wall for the couple's bedroom addition that tilts upward, like a garage door. A system of pulleys, rope, and cleats allows the wall to be raised easily, extending the living space out onto the deck. The hardware was purchased from a boat supply store. When down, the wall adds appeal to the room. The translucent panels are made of an industrial greenhouse material.
